Ling Ze, who was in the crowd, witnessed the scene where Ling Chenyu heroically saved the beauty and protected Liu Yaoyao.

There were mixed emotions in his eyes, which eventually turned into deep envy and determination.

He swore to himself, since Ling Chenyu had already occupied Liu Yaoyao's sight.

Then he would become her guardian, find out the mastermind behind all this, and make those who hurt her pay the price.

Thinking of this, Ling Ze clenched his fists even tighter, veins bulging, and it seemed as if he could hear the subtle sounds between his joints.

He waved his hand gently, and a man in black appeared behind him like a ghost.

Ling Ze leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

The man in black disappeared into the crowd as quickly as an arrow.

On the other side, after Ling Chenyu confirmed that the scene was fine, he left a few guards to guard it strictly and hurried back to the palace.

He was thinking about the treasure on the cliff of Nanyang and the impending palace storm.

The old emperor's health is not as good as before, so he must make arrangements in advance to ensure that he has enough strength to protect Liu Yaoyao in troubled times.

The spies in the crowd gradually dispersed as Ling Chenyu left, and each reported what they had seen and heard today to their master.

Ling Ze learned that the spy he sent out had brought back key information.

When he found another key witness in the poisoning case, he was delighted and immediately rushed to Haochidian after catching him.

"Yaoyao, this is one of the masterminds behind the poisoning and framing. You can take him to Yingtian Prefecture. With the witnesses and evidence, they will have no way to deny it."

Ling Ze spoke in a firm tone and pushed the man in front of Liu Yaoyao.

However, Liu Yaoyao did not act immediately. Her bright eyes flashed with thought, and she was secretly calculating in her heart.

"Although there are witnesses and physical evidence, the world is unpredictable. If this person turns against us, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

Ling Ze was surprised when he saw Liu Yaoyao's hesitation.

"Lord Ze, I want to perform an autopsy so that we can have solid evidence."

Ling Ze didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman had such a meticulous mind.

He smiled slightly and spoke gently.

"Yaoyao, I know you have a lot of concerns, but an autopsy is not an easy task. Not to mention whether it can be allowed, even if it can, it will inevitably cause unnecessary disturbances.

Besides, the other party is very wealthy and powerful, so we need to be more cautious in our actions."

Liu Yaoyao nodded in agreement.

But then, she changed the subject, with a cunning gleam in her eyes.

“But I have a plan of my own.

We don't necessarily need an autopsy, but we can prove his guilt in other ways.

For example, investigate when and where the woman came into contact with the poison.

According to the clues provided by this person, the woman was poisoned after returning home. This time point is very critical. A general doctor should be able to infer the time and cause of the poisoning based on the symptoms. "

There was a glimmer of admiration in Ling Ze's eyes.

He didn't expect that Liu Yaoyao was not only thoughtful but also so smart.

He smiled gently and said, "Yaoyao, you are indeed extraordinary. No matter what decision you make, I will fully support you."

The words were so gentle that they seemed to drip water.

Liu Yaoyao couldn't help but think of that unexpected kiss, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She quickly shook her head, threw those unrealistic thoughts out of her mind, and focused on the case at hand.

"Okay, let's do this. However, before that, we need to do more preparation to ensure that everything goes well."

Liu Yaoyao's eyes became firm and powerful.

Liu Yaoyao and Ling Ze stood side by side in a corner of the Food Hall, carefully planning the next steps.

“We need to find a reliable doctor first. He must be trustworthy and have superb medical skills, and be able to accurately deduce the time and method of poisoning.

At the same time, we cannot completely rely on his testimony, because the other party is so powerful that we cannot guarantee that they will not buy people’s hearts and minds.”

Lingze nodded in agreement and added.

"I have a friend who is a famous doctor in the capital. He has an upright character and is never tempted by money or power.

We can ask him to help, but before that, we need to collect more background information about the poisoner and his connection with those wealthy businessmen."

The two work together.

Liu Yaoyao used her network of connections in the market to secretly inquire about the poisoner's deeds and which wealthy women he had contact with.

Ling Ze went to the doctor's residence in person and asked him to help as a friend, and explained in detail the urgency and importance of the case.

After some effort, Liu Yaoyao not only collected a lot of negative information about the poisoner.

It was also unexpectedly discovered that there were complex conflicts of interest between him and the wives of several wealthy businessmen.

These wealthy businessmen's wives were the ones who had attacked Liu Yaoyao at the scene before.

Good news also came from Ling Ze. The doctor was moved by his sincerity and was willing to help.

Liu Yaoyao and Ling Ze went to Yingtian Prefecture together and presented all the evidence and clues one by one.

Under the professional identification of the doctor, the crime of the poisoner was completely exposed, and the wives of the wealthy businessmen could no longer make excuses.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, they had no choice but to submit to justice.

After the case was solved, Liu Yaoyao and Haochidian became famous in the capital.

People praised her for her wisdom and courage.

During this process, Ling Ze also began to look at Liu Yaoyao with new eyes, and his friendship with her became even deeper.

However, this victory was only a temporary calm.

The old emperor's condition is getting worse, undercurrents are surging in the palace, and various forces are ready to make a move.

In order to protect herself and those around her, she must act more cautiously while constantly improving her strength.

Liu Yaoyao thought about it and decided to move between the common people and the powerful, secretly investigating the conspiracies and forces hidden in the dark.

Ling Ze learned that Liu Yaoyao's actions were carried out without telling Ling Chenyu, and felt that his chance had come.

He acted in secret, using his own resources and connections to build intelligence networks for Liu Yaoyao.

That day, Liu Yaoyao received an invitation letter from Mrs. He and was preparing to attend the banquet.

I unexpectedly received a secret letter.

The letter mentioned the plan of several powerful officials to usurp the throne after the old emperor's death.

Although I don’t know whether it is true or not.

But this letter was like a bolt from the blue, making her realize that the struggle within the court was far more cruel and complicated than she had imagined.
